D&D - Player's Handbook AD&D 1st Ed.

The Player's Handbook is one of the original three "core" rulebooks put out by TSR. The original cover is of a large statue with gemstone eyes, of which one is being stolen by a group of adventurers. The book consists of different sections dealing with information that "anyone" can know - meaning that there is an assumption that people who just "play" the game should only read the Player's Handbook, while the Dungeon Masters can read other supplemental material so they can provide a truly surprising world for the Players.

D&D - 1st Edition

For many people, the 1st Edition is the true beginning of D&D. Known as Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, the rulebooks were hardcover and had fantastic covers and were chock full of great information and pictures that could enthrall for hours. The books began publication in December of 1977.

The first style of books, with covers that wrapped around the entire book including the spines, was limited to 5 different books. Later, in 1983, the original books were reprinted with orange spines and different cover art. Although still part of the same "Edition", this differing set of books somewhat represents a collection in and of itself. The Goblin Trove recognizes these books as 1st Edition, but will often refer to them as "1.5" (Similar to later distinctions in 2nd and 3rd Editions).

D&D - Birthright

Birthright is a campaign setting for Dungeons & Dragons that takes place on a more epic scale than individual adventuring. Instead of going into dungeons, Players assume the role of semi-divine kings that control large swaths of land. It was a shortlived campaign setting from a publishing perspective, but has gained a large enough following to continue as an internet based campaign setting officially sanctions (but not supported) by Wizards of the Coast.

D&D Settings

Dungeons and Dragons, besides giving the world an RPG system that has seen numerous incarnations and 35 years of play, also gave us multiple game settings - that is, standalone worlds within the D&D system with unique lands, kingdoms and characters to explore. Some have been more popular than others, and some have spanned several versions of the game while others have fallen away.

Some are complete worlds, while some are really modular mini-realms or concepts that can be plugged into any world.

World of Darkness

Really several systems combined into one Storyteller universe. The first, Vampire: The Masquerade, is arguably the most famous of the settings. Also included are Werewolf: The Apocalypse and Mage: The Ascension as the basic settings. Other settings have been incorporated, allowing players to select from almost any supernatural creature imaginable.

The settings are based on the Storyteller game system, which is more point based and allows players extreme flexibility in creating their particular characters.

The "New" version of World of Darkness doesn't have the same breakdown of individual systems for each type of character - rather it is an all inclusive Storyteller System that allows customization based on choice, and combines elements from all the disparate games.

• Werewolf: The Apocalypse
• Mage: The Ascension
• Wraith: The Oblivion
• Changeling: The Dreaming
